You will get a stipend, campus housing, and access to world-class facilities, including our cleanroom. Check it out here: chemistry.utdallas.edu/reuchem/

Built a 3D printer today for my filament project (with some help from ariel & Lyndsay Ayers) now taking bets on how long until I clog this one #sorryron

THAT’S OUR GIRL !!!! 😎🥳🤩🤯

double the mischief, double the MOF

1000 attempts later Ron Smaldone was ready to pose for our annual Valentine’s shenanigans Happy Valentine’s from smaldone squad 💌

Two is better than one!! Our newest paper is out! With coauthor Sachini Perera, we demonstrate how MOFs can be 3D printed with PIPS to bring more MOF to the surface to catalyze the degradation of chemical warfare agents. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

This was an amazing team effort and I hope y’all enjoy it! These amazing people also helped to make this work possible: Lyndsay Ayers Milinda Senarathna Karen Cortés-Guzmán (She/her) (everyone else isn’t on Twitter/X) and of course Ron Smaldone helped a little too

I'm excited to share the Smaldone Lab's latest in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces where we teach #3Dprinters new tricks! We use PIPS to create flexible #MOF-polymer composites that can destroy chemical warfare agents. Thanks to U.S. Army DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory and The Welch Foundation for support! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Everyone at #ACSSpring2024 scurry over to Galerie 3 at the Marriott at 4:30PM TODAY to see our very own head rat Ron Smaldone and TOMORROW make sure to scurry over to the Mardi Gras Ballroom Salon H at the Marriott at 4:30PM to see our chosen rat rebecca johnson

Since the cat is out of the bag, I am happy to say I will be speaking tomorrow in the ACS POLY Division ACS Excellence in Graduate Polymer Research Symposium. It’s an honor to be selected for this! #ACSSpring2024

It was an honor to be a part of Polymer Women Empowerment & Research Conference conference at Northwestern university. #WomenEmpowerment #WomenInScience #STEMEducation #COFs

A successful research done and presented at REU poster session held at UTD UT Dallas Chemistry by Andrew Templeton, under guidance of our senior grad student Milinda Senarathna and our PI Ron Smaldone

Our spectacular undergraduate students (Kasia, Emma, Aman) got to showcase all of the hard work they put in this summer for the SPUR symposium! We are so proud of them!

Late birthday celebration for Ron Smaldone (and rebecca johnson ) Happy birthday to the boss and under boss of ron’s rats! 🐀 🧪👩🏻‍🔬👨🏻‍🔬

To say I had a great time at the GRS/GRC on additive manufacturing of soft materials would be a large understatement.From giving a talk at the GRS, to making some great connections with new friends and learning about some really cool things going on in 3D printing…I’m exhausted!

Me presenting my art at the first art showcase organized by utdallas innovation and research for research days 2024. Also, won the first place 😃 UTD Natural Sciences & Math UT Dallas Chemistry
